I’m facing the fight against cancer!
There is perhaps nothing scarier than hearing those three words from your doctor , "you have Cancer". It is life changing in many ways and touches everyone you love, but treatment is behind me and I am travelling down the road to survivor status. Now it is time to give back to those that supported me in my journey , providing hope to those that have heard those words , while supporting the efforts of so many people so that those words are never heard again.
Nova Scotia has the highest cancer rates in all of Canada. 1 in 3 patients will not survive.
On Saturday, September 28, 2024, I’m riding alongside a community with one common goal: transforming local cancer care at the QEII Health Sciences Centre.
Faster diagnosis saves lives, which is why BMO Ride for Cancer is on a mission to bring rapid cancer detection and monitoring to patients who have already undergone treatment. With a simple blood test that can happen anywhere in the province, QEII experts will use this revolutionary technology to uncover whether patients are cancer-free after surgery and the earliest signs if their cancer has returned.
This technology will be a game-changer.
By supporting my ride today, you are joining a community dedicated to moving the needle in cancer care for Nova Scotians. Your support will pave the way for a future of hope for all of us.
Are you ready to save lives?

Getting Close
Hard to believe the summer is moving by so quickly and the ride is approaching so quickly. Excited and apprehensive would be the mix of emotions. Like any new physical endeavor or even work task , there are both emotions at play. I know the day will be awesome , with all the people riding for the same cause and the festivities planned for the day and along the route. The apprehension of riding 50kms is diminishing with my training , as I really haven't spent much time on a bike in years. I am sure the day will be fine as there is lots of support coming from friends , family , my team and the BMO organization. All I need to do now is hit my fundraising goal , so please help where you can , it is a great cause. Share
Prepping to RIde
So far my friends and family have been extremely generous in supporting my ride , so I better get to work to make this thing a reality. Just discovered yesterday that you can do the ride virtually hmmmmm...nah , that's not what I signed up for . So ...bike is purchased , old helmet is repaired and I am ready to hit the road/trial for my first ride tonight ...almost 4 months from the event. I got a significant tip from the BMO Ride crew yesterday ...padded bike shorts...good call. Until next time , thanks again everyone. ShareThank you to my Supporters
